13 Secondary education is and free in many countries (COMPEL)

14 The song has been selected for the Sea Games 22, Vietnam (OFFICE)

15 _are doing their best to make people aware of the danger of air pollution (ENVIRONMENT)

o A or An? The general rule is that we

use a before a consonant and an before a vowel:

a bowl, a car,a dog, but an ant, an elephant, an

insect, an orange, an urn

But, what is important here is not the way a word is

written, but the way it sounds We choose a or an

depending on the sound at the beginning of the word

and whether it is a vowel sound or a consonant sound

For example, take the word uniform Although it

begins with a vowel - u - when we write it, when we

say it the first sound is /y/ which is a consonant:

uniform is pronounced ‘/jun ɪfɔːm/ so we say a

uniform

One word which is often confused is hotel Some

people pronounce this word as /həʊˈtɛl/ so they would

write:

a hotel But other people pronounce this word

as /əʊˈtɛl/ and so they would write: an hotel

o The Zero Article does not

exist It is a useful term to use when describing how to use articles Essentially when we talk about the zero article, we mean that we don’t use any article in front of a noun

For example, when we use a noun with a preposition,

we often do not use an article (that is, we just use the

noun on its own):

I went to school but left my books at home Mother

was in church and father at sea; Grandfather came to

dinner later by train and Grandmother managed to

escape from prison to join us.

When we talk about an institution, we use the zero

article

– The definite article doesn't change It is always

the whether the noun is masculine, feminine or

neuter, singular or plural We use the definite

article - the - when we talk about a singular or plural noun which refers to a particular member

of a a group

The woman.The man.The door.The doors.

Prior Reference

We often use the after the noun has already been

mentioned For example:

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Sctosman walk into a

pub The Englishman ordered a bitter; the Irishman ordered a Guiness and the Scotsman ordered a whisky.

The first time we mention the noun we use the indefinite article and from then on we use the definite article

Known Reference

If both speakers know what they are talking about they

can use the even though the noun may not have been

mentioned before In other words, it is implied that the noun has already been mentioned

Excuse me, do you know what the time is?

Where's the toilet?

In these examples, the speaker assumes that the listener knows what is being talked about

Miscellanous In addition, the is used in the following

special circumstances

Exceptions include: the Hague; the Matterhorn; the

Mall; the White House, the United States of America

We use the definite article - the - when we talk about a

singular or plural noun which refers to a particular member of a a group

In this example the group is all men; we want to reference

a particular man so we say: The man in the hat.

Compare this with the indefinite article which refers to

any man in the group: A man in a hat.
